Id say you fine with a low tint ceramic for the IR benefit alone
My question is how many guys get stone chips? My buddies F-150 (2014) is a magnet to them. I don't want to pay to tint the windshield with ceramic and then it gets wasted by rocks.
I remember somewhere there was a film that prevented a lot of stone chips and was made for windshields. Not sure if that would make the window too distorted between two layers of film
I have Bray on the outside and air 80 tint on the inside
I consider myself very particular when it comes to visual clarity thru my WS and it was barely noticeable after install and now it doesn’t register at all
